Speaking from the PostGIS side, the CAPI is mostly an outgrowth of
meeting our use cases, which are build-geometries-and-run-a-test and
build-geometries-and-get-a-new-geometry. All our fine-grained access
to geometry internals is done back in PostGIS land, not against the
GEOS objects. Hence, no CA
It looks like the C API doesn't really support Coordinates. The only
way I can figure out to pass Coordinates is to use Geometry* as a
parameter, and use dynamic_cast to ensure that the Geometry is
Point. This leads to long-winded code -- not to mention a lack of
compile-time type-checking.
